The British surfing summer was much like any other; a dismal blend of feeble lines, windslop and millpond moments. With a pessimistic outlook nurtured by months of high pressure, many feared that September would follow the same course. Fortunately, it didn't.

This album is a selection of the best shots we've had sent in from the swell, most of which fall between September 23/24. With the forecast still looking promising, no doubt there will be more to come.
